A victory in the fight for living wages as the Ontario government has announced an increase in the minimum wage. JPIC staff have supported this campaign locally for many years.

Breakthrough for $15 and fairness

As you might have heard, the Ontario government has announced an increase in the minimum wage. JPIC staff have supported this campaign locally for many years. First, when the call was for a $12/hr. minimum wage, then $14/hr. and finally $15 an hour when advocates in the United States and around the world began campaigning for that amount.
